Notes:
A jury integrated by Eduardo Mendoza, Félix de Azúa, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Luis Goytisolo, Jorge Volpi, and Fernando Savater among other authors and experts, gave out the Second Bartolomé March Prize to the best book of literary criticism of the year, La verdad de las mentiras, by Mario Vargas Llosa. ||Another book by Vargas Llosa that is very important in literary criticism is Gabriel García Márquez: Historia de un deicidio (1971). When asked if he would allow for a reedition of this book, Vargas Llosa responded "Maybe in the future. Why not? The problem is that I need to revise and rewrite almost the whole thing, just like I did with La verdad de las mentiras. Since I wrote it, García Márquez has published other important works."
